“I deliver to this place all the time. This is by far one of the nicest facilities I have ever been to. In both faculty wise and how clean it is. Every time I am here the staff is overwhelmingly friendly helpful and very caring. I would recommend this place to anyone.”

“Reading the reviews I see most of them are from people who work there. As someone who has a family member that is a resident there I certainly don’t see 5 stars.

“They say the grass isn’t always greener on the other side, but let me tell you. IT IS!! Go else where if you are somewhat different from the society norms. The Director of Nursing is bringing this beautiful facility into destruction with her discriminatory acts. You will not get fair treatment, but instead get bullied for just existing. The rest of the staff is good for the most part.”
